Summer 2013 Decorating Ideas Tropical Style

Bring relaxing tropical style home with these summer-infused decorating ideas.

Tack-On Family Photos : Frame vacation snapshots as high style changeable art.

1-Convert digital images to sepia tone using a computer and graphics program, then print on deckle edge watercolor paper made for color ink-jet printers.

2-Adhere papyrus or other art paper to cork tile and place in a ready made frame with glass removed.

3- Attach photo to the cork with a decorative tack.

4-Switch out photos as the whim strikes.

Give plain glass candleholders a tropical makeover. Cover the outside with decorative papyrus; secure with double-sided tape. Wrap with waxed linen thread to hint at the pattern of a net.

Leafy Green Table : Tinted water and tropical foliage make a dramatic centerpiece.

Naturally Pretty Setting : Braid bunches of fresh grasses for natural napkin rings.

Beachy Reading Nook : Create a breezy spot for beach reading any time of year.

Line a flat waterproof tray with chunks of sea glass and elevate a collection of potted plants to focal-point status. The tray will also help to protect your tabletop from water spills.

Floral Seat Cover-Up : Drape a chair seat with a summery patterned napkin for an instant spruce-up.

1-Sew large beads to the corners to act as weights, and position the napkin diagonally.

2-Stitch on ribbon ties to secure it to the chair back.

Easy-Sew Headboard : A wall hanging reminiscent of beach chaise canopies is a charming headboard alternative.

1-For easy construction, choose a fabric that has finished edges and no "wrong" side (54-inch-wide fabric yields a full-gathered effect for a twin bed).

2-Measure height for the headboard and add about 16 inches for balance and hems; cut fabric this length.

3-Fold over one end about 15 inches to make a valance; to make the pocket for hanging, sew layers together about 1 inch from the fold.

4-Hem the ends; feed rope through the pocket and tie around cabinet pulls or hooks installed in the wall.

5-Complete the ensemble with a matching sham; a king-size pillow is the right width for a twin bed bolster.

Drape a bedside table with a woven beach mat hanging to the floor offering the effect of an elegant grass skirt. Drift off to sleep thinking of cool umbrella drinks and sand between your toes.

2014 Tips for Cheap Bedroom Update

Affordable Bedroom Ideas :

Try a New Direction : To give your bedroom a decorative lift without spending a dime, angle the bed from a corner. If your present headboard looks too bulky for this arrangement, replace it with a salvaged iron gate or a shorter upholstered panel.

Add Pattern to a Select Spot : Try paneling a single wall or one section of a wall with a favorite wallpaper or stencil. It's a sure fire way to call attention to a seating area or to add pattern without the expense of papering an entire room or taking the time to stencil an entire room.

Switch Out Accent Pillows : Accent pillows let you quickly alter the personality of a room and shift the balance of color. They're especially powerful used in a bedroom because the bed is a natural focal point. Pillows can update a room instantly by adding volume, pattern, texture, color, and personality.

 Here, a subtle backdrop of cream and blue is brought into intense focus with a collection of lively pillows. Raspberry and sky-blue accent pillows pull the wall color and accent color together perfectly. Bold striped neckroll pillows add variety and interest to the grouping.

Suitcase Side Table : For a dose of quirky charm, create a bedside table from vintage suitcases. Search flea markets and estate sales for three suitcases in graduated sizes. Measure and cut a base from plywood to accommodate your largest case. Screw wooden furniture legs onto the base and paint. When dry, stack the suitcases on top. Use the suitcases to store off-season clothing and accessories.

Easy Upholstered Headboard : A few tricks make this stunning DIY headboard. The simple square shape makes the upholstery job easy. Plus, the backing is formed by two hollow-core doors.

Paper Trail : The popular trend of removable wallpaper has landed this fun product in even the big box stores. Peel the backing and press it to the wall, then peel it off if you tire of the look or if you?re a renter. You can use big graphic colorful prints behind a bed as a headboard, on a hollow-core door to make it dimensional, or over a fireplace without a big commitment.

Neat & Nifty Nightstand : Bedside tables with shelves work best for storage purposes. This simple but hardworking nightstand offers a tabletop surface for a lamp and a collection of decorative elements, a drawer to corral smaller items, and a lower shelf that holds reading materials.

Frame Game : For artwork on a dime, paint an old wooden picture frame, cut mat or foam-core board to fit the opening, and cover the board with a scrap of pretty fabric.

Floating Nightstand : If you don't have the luxury of a bedside table, create a storage-packed floating shelf by installing a closet shelf upside down beside your bed. The small shelf takes up no floor space yet offers an ample surface for an alarm clock, reading material, and decorative accents.

Artificial Christmas Trees 2014 Ideas from HGTV

Shake up your Christmas decorating scheme and go bold with a bright artificial tree this year! Here are some of our favorite over the top examples of the trend.

By : Briana Mowrey

This inspired tree in Dee Snider's Celebrity Holiday Home takes its color cues from nature: the peacock's feathers.

Christmas is all about the red and green, though usually we're talking about a green tree with red ornaments. This tree's unusual hue turns that around in a delightful way.

Stark and silver, this Christmas tree flirts with a retro vibe. The round bulbs complete this look.

This fine example of a pink tree from Fantasy of Trees emphasizes texture as well as color.

This whimsical pink tree by Tobi Fairley is a favorite around the HGTV offices. Don't you have visions of sugarplums dancing in your head just looking at it?

Haylie Duff's Celebrity Holiday Home was graced with this fantastic artificial tree in a dreamy palette of pinks and greens with pops of red.

A small white tree with pink and turquoise ornaments would be a welcome addition in just about any teen girl's bedroom.

An artificial white tree is a great canvas for your ornament collection. Here, designer Brian Patrick Flynn used his signature color: purple.

This tree by Brian Patrick Flynn is also a crisp shade of white, but this time it's complemented by the neutral parchment ornaments. Mod holiday minimalism at its finest!

Not all artificial trees need to flirt with kitsch. This all white Christmas tree from HGTV's Holiday House glows in an ethereal white halo.

Taste the rainbow! The bright trees in athlete Kurt Warner's Celebrity Holiday Home dazzle guests.
